|  Styrene Questions:
I'm going to attempt an interior build on a truck or two. Just simple dash and floorplan maybe a center console too. I went to get some styrene and there is every thickness imaginable! What are you guys preferred thicknesses for interior work? How about for re-inforcment work of say bed bobs or hardbody chops? .030? .040? Thicker than that? Also, will Plastruct styrene bonding glue work for attatching styrene to Tamiya Hardbodies? Thank you. |

| Re: Styrene Questions:
I like working with .060 for simple structural elements. .080 if it's a really big piece that needs strength. .030 is a bit too thin for my liking as the main structure, but I do use that for textural elements. Tamiya bodies are the closest thing to styrene so they bond pretty well using Plastruct's formula. RC4WD's bodies are a bit different, but will usually bond if you use MEK. |

I use old 4 sale signs for floor pans, dashes and door cards. Super light...probably .020 or less lol
